Pros
1. Free lunch (I was told this is a silly thing to mention, but honestly lunch is expensive. free is good) There's also free coffee/milk and on occasion, free snacks. 2. Ping Pong etc. There are various games set up around the office. Some folks play during lunch or afterwork. Occasionally the company will set up brackets. (Some teams also take this a step further and go on outings / play other games.) 3. Decent pay. You can make more elsewhere but you can also make less elsewhere. If you come in low you may find your pay goes up as you prove yourself. Or you may have to "play the game." In either case you can probably get something a little less (but close) to what you deserve. 4. People. There are some really nice, really smart, really driven people here. For the most part, these are the kind of people you enjoy seeing every day. 5. Management is trying. I'm not saying their succeeding. But they are like your dad, who scratches his head in confusion at those crazy kids and their needs, but in his heart is trying to figure out what you need. 6. They're doing pretty well. Lots of growth. Lots of sales. BUT they did just lose a big legal battle and they are near the end of a 5 year ownership thing with Halma. Everyone is happy with the past growth but is carefully looking for the writing on the wall about where the company is going. 7. Healthcare + Technology. Everybody and their mother is trying to get into either healthcare or the tech industry. Come here. Get experience. Decide if you like it here or want to go elsewhere. You'll have options. 8. Not very process driven. If you like to wear a lot of hats, this is the place for you. 9. Profit sharing? - Honestly, don't hold your breath. None of us are.
Cons
Scenario A: "Oh, hey. You weren't invited to this meeting? Well everyone talked and decided you're running the project. We sold something that doesn't exist and we just thought of it but please don't tell that to the client. It will take a year? Well we put out a press release last week. Also, John started yesterday but we're sending him to our biggest client tomorrow. You can train him, right?" Scenario B: "Can you please schedule an urgent meeting for later today? I know I have no time on my schedule. Find time but don't double book me. I'll take the call from the car but won't tell you that ahead of time. Actually? I forgot to show up. Will you please text me to remind me? I'm not listening though. I'm on 2 other calls and driving after all." Scenario C: "Hello. I know it's Saturday and if I read my email we could have addressed this three weeks ago. But it's urgent so please leave the beach with your three children and come help me solve this very small issue." Scenario D: "For now we're keeping you in your current role. You're super competent and ready to take on more and make this a better company. We see that. But we would have no idea how to function without you in your current role. Please continue to do what you currently do while not paying too much attention to this team over here where we are simultaneously promoting people and also taking their responsibilities away because at some level we know they don't do any work at all, much less well." - I know this all sounds really bad but honestly go back up and read the Pros. This is a good place to work. But I'm being real with you here. I bet every current employee who reads this con section is cracking up at how true all of this is.
